They get theres custom made at fabrication shops in large amounts.

Just use a keg or milk can or anything S/S or copper, it will do the trick

Have fun and be safe

How many thousands of dollars, or even tens to hundreds of thousands, do you have to throw at a commercial still...??? And are you legit because some manufacturers won't sell a still to anyone but a licensed distillery... And they are required by law to keep records and in some cases inform the TTB of purchases...

Are you currently licensed or looking to be commercially licensed...??? Not sure why else you would want a larger than hobby scale still to begin with... These forums are geared towards home hobby scale distillation for personal consumption... Care to share your intentions...???

Boiler and still are like peas and carrots. They go together well, but they are different things.

Its usually up to you to match your boiler with your column.
You design it, I make it. Copper and Stainless. Down under. PM me.
